Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

Ah yes! I totally forgot about montreal-style smoked meat (after Maple and Poutine).

Dude, all this food talk is making me legitimately hungry...

Absolute personal favourite place in Montreal (is actually 20 mins west of it): Smoked Meat Pete.

Absolute personal favourite place in Toronto (is actually in a suburb north-east of T.O. proper): Sumilicious.

I am truly HUNGRY reading this ?[emoji57][emoji3]
And I'm on the way to Texas for Thanksgiving! I won't be shocked if I find myself in an authentic Texan smokehouse looking for smoked meat![emoji28]

I got the rolls (hamburger buns). I thought the taste was pretty good, but very dense. However, super convenient and filling! And I didn't have a weight jump or an RH event which leads me to believe they are safe for me in maintenance!

Have fun on the road with PBJs!!! Sublandia...ha!

Look what i found!

Plantains ! (Yellow is better than Green -fight me ?)

Australian with no idea here - is a plantain the same as a banana? I'm guessing not (hence the different name) but they look the same?

"Plantains are members of the banana family, but they are starchier and lower in sugar, which means that when they are ripe, they will still be green in color. If you get them when they are overripe, they may have started to turn yellow or black. While a banana makes a great, raw on-the-go-snack, plantains aren’t usually eaten raw because of the high starch content."

Cannot wait to see the photos today!!! Please post them here also if you have a minute ?

Salad FAIL ?

I ran out of salad greens so I just took whatever veggies where in the fridge (napa cabbage, pea shoots & carrots) and tossed em up with my vinaigrette. Well, turns out I don't like raw pea shoots, so I painstakingly picked them out one by one after the first bite.

Also, I tried to recreate that baked egg and avocado thing that @MarvelGirl25 posted a while back, and I guess I left in in the oven too long, as the yolk was disappointingly UN-runny. So that was banished to the edge of the plate as well.

*sigh* and I was so excited to eat it too .

Thanksgiving Dinner

No afters, I ate it all, but needed to take 2 breaks in order to do so

Starting from the bottom and counter clockwise

Turkey breast w cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes w gravy, collard greens, maple mustard glazed carrots, green bean casserole, stuffing, jalapeno cornbread with maple butter, and green salad with feta, candied walnuts, dried cranberries & champagne vinaigrette

No afters. I did take 3 hours to eat and drink this. Here's what it was:

Dinner: avo/tom salad + smashed roasted cauliflower with pan gravy + pan roasted turkey cutlets with crispy herbs + no sugar added cranberry chutney + roasted brussels sprouts in toasted garlic

After Dinner Cocktail: low carb manhattan with orange bitters

Dessert: sugar free cheesecake millionaires with sf cherry preserves and whipped cream with decaf coffee (not shown).

I've no idea how many calories. I didn't measure the ingredients to make my portion. <<<Drivin' the bus to hell...
